Yep, Lamborghini has unveiled their latest creation, the Temerario (Pronounced Te-me-ra-rio). The name? Italian for reckless, Rash or Daredevil which feels spot on for a hybrid supercar that looks like it’s been forged to break the sound barrier. This is Lamborghini’s full-throttle leap into the electrified age, and no, they haven’t gone soft.
A New Heartbeat: The V8 Hybrid Powertrain (I’ll miss that V10 soundtrack like a fat kid misses cake when on a diet) Under the bonnet lies a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 paired with three electric motors, collectively churning out 920 horsepower. That gets you from 0–62 in just 2.7 seconds, with a top speed of 213 mph, all while showing the middle finger to sustainability targets. This isn’t greenwashing. It’s green warfare.
Every angle is purposeful. Every vent, every crease, every piece, designed to slice through the air like a samurai. It’s aggressive without shouting, confident without posturing. The Temerario doesn’t beg for attention. It owns it.
Thirteen driving modes. Yes, thirteen. You’ll need a PhD in computer science to work them all out, but trust me, it would be worth it. Among them, Recharge mode, Hybrid, and Performance, each transforming the car’s personality faster than your nan changes the TV channel when Love Island comes on.
The Future is Now, but this thing might go back to the future at this speed. (Hold on Doc you might have a visitor) The Temerario isn’t just a Lamborghini; it’s a very loud, very fast, tantrum to the idea that electrification has to be boring. Sure, it’s designed to help Lamborghini meet future emissions regs, but make no mistake this is a driver’s car first, and a compliance tool second.
The thrill is still very much alive, for now. But it’s got a plug socket and a conscience.
